Hot news today is the announcement of a new Vampire Weekend cd! Contra will be released January 12th, 2010, and the guys have so generously provided a free download of the first track, "Horchata". Not sure what Ezra is doing singing about drinking horchata when it's cold outside, but I'll allow it...

Vampire Weekend's keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot singer Wes Miles have a new project called Discovery. On their debut album, LP (due out July 7th), they experiment with hip-hop and electronic elements! First single "Orange Shirt" sounds like some sort of cross between Vampire Weekend and Usher...

Well, I came across this Vampire Weekend video this morning and thought it was pretty fun. So check that out first, if you haven't seen it. Secondly, their album is getting a proper release on January 29 on XL Recordings. Third-ly, I haven't posted about Vampire Weekend in the past. Perhaps I heard it at a bad time, or wasn't feeling the vibe that day, but I no longer find Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa annoying. Paul Simon + The Police?
